Black Sun arrangement with Marsh tours
After the tour, we invite you to enjoy a well-deserved break at Marsktures Motel at Nørrevej 32 in Højer. Here you will be served delicious Gullash soup followed by coffee, tea or cocoa, so you can continue your evening in a pleasant environment and perhaps share your impressions with the other participants. Experience the magical Black Sun with our guided tour, where you will have a unique opportunity to watch thousands of starlings dance their enchanting ballet in the sky. The starlings gather in large flocks around sunset time, creating a spectacular sight that few other natural phenomena can match. Our experienced guides know the best places to observe the Black Sun and will share their knowledge of the fascinating behaviour of starlings, the birds of prey that may be nearby and the beautiful marshland landscape where it all plays out. We have a very high success rate when it comes to finding and experiencing Black Sun, but nature is unpredictable, so we cannot guarantee sight. However, the chance is almost always there to get this unique nature experience. Photos included in the product are from: Ulrik Pedersen

Black Sun Tour — by Marskture
GUIDED BLACK SUN IN BUS In the last 6 years we have had a success rate of almost 100% when it comes to seeing the beautiful ballet of the starlings. The starlings move and it can be difficult to find them on your own. Of course, we can not guarantee that you will see Black Sun, but almost. For the past 6 years, our guests have seen the beautiful dancing of the starlings every time. *WHAT IS BLACK SUN? * Black Sun is a truly unique natural phenomenon that can be seen in spring and autumn, when starlings on the move gather in large flocks for the night. Especially in Tøndermarsken in southwestern Denmark. Just before the starlings descend to earth for the night, the large flocks form patterns in the sky that nearly eclipse the sun, hence the name black sun. Black sun can also be experienced outside the marshes, but not to such a pronounced degree. The phenomenon, which lasts for about twenty minutes, usually ends no later than an hour after sunset, when the starlings have settled down in the roof pipes. The overnight flocks in Tøndermarsken can sometimes accommodate more than 1 million birds. If they grow larger than 500,000 birds, however, they usually split up. The reason why starlings fly in flocks is not known exactly. One theory is that starlings are myopic and have forward-facing eyes, meaning they may have difficulty detecting enemies. Their eye placement is ideal when it comes to focusing on an object, a food item, in front of them, but less advantageous when enemies need to be detected. In large flocks, starlings are probably better able to repel attacks from birds of prey. BARREL MARSHAL The Tøndermarsken in southwestern South Jutland is approximately 2,500 hectares. Denmark's largest contiguous meadow area. The marshland has a rich bird life and a very varied flora. In Margrethe Kog there is a saltwater lake with many wading birds. The landscape is characteristic of the marshlands along the North Sea. Water levels in large parts of the unique Tøndermarsk were lowered in the spring of 2009 because farmers diverted the water away from the area. The high water level otherwise benefits the important bird life in the area. The Danish Ornithological Association has previously complained to the EU about Denmark's administration of the Tøndermarsken, and in 2003 the EU Commission took the first step of bringing a case against Denmark to the European Court of Justice. After some improvements were introduced by the public sector, the European Commission decided in November 2012 to close the case.
